Olympic Club And PGA Of America To Wed Next Wednesday: '28 PGA And '32 Ryder Cup
/Ron Kroichick of the San Francisco Chronicle reports that the PGA of America has agreed with Olympic Club to host the 2028 PGA Championship and 2032 Ryder Cup. I have also confirmed the news with a source and will discuss on Friday's Morning Drive around 10 am ET.
Kroichick notes this:
That’s big news in golf circles, because the club’s Lake Course has hosted the Open five times, from Jack Fleck stunning Ben Hogan in 1955 to Webb Simpson winning in 2012. The United States Golf Association, the organization that runs America’s national championship, offered the 2027 U.S. Open to the Olympic Club, but contract talks stalled over the past several months.
Then the USGA — sensing Olympic might accept the Ryder Cup/PGA offer instead, according to one source — announced Oct. 24 that Pebble Beach would host the ’27 Open.
Here is an analysis of the Pebble Beach announcement that was part of this equation.
